side-effects may include nausea, dizziness and sweating. for me, pristiq is a key in helping me treat my depression. ask your doctor about pristiq.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: thanks for coming on the show. >> yes, hello. >> jimmy: it's your first time on. >> it is my first time on. >> jimmy: i've been wanting to have you on. we're big fans over here. >> yay! >> jimmy: are you from new york or, no, where you from originally? >> oh no, no. my family's from alabama and tennessee. i was actually hatched in new orleans, but it's all about the south. but i lived here -- >> jimmy: you were hatched. >> yeah. but i lived here for like six or seven years. >> jimmy: so you're all around the south, huh? >> yeah. >> jimmy: are your parents in the army? >> uh, well, no. my dad works for the phone company and so he -- >> jimmy: that's kind of the same thing. >> so he says. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah -- >> so we moved all the time. like my sister and i moved like maybe 13 times growing up or whatever. but i mean -- and i used to secretly think maybe he was a fugitive or a spy or something. >> jimmy: as a little kid you thought your dad was a fugitive or a spy. >> well, because we moved so much.

it's was like a really interesting story. but then again, all our clothes had a little bell on them from the phone company and like our pants and socks and our shoe laces and everything. so i didn't think that was a very good cover. so it probably is true, it was probably the phone company. >> jimmy: yeah, everything you wear had a phone or something on it, yeah. >> yeah. >> jimmy: yeah. was it weird growing up being a new kid everywhere you went? >> i was a new kid everywhere i want, yup. which is extremely fun when you have an eye patch and big blue glasses. >> jimmy: no, did you? >> i did. >> jimmy: you had a lazy eye? >> i had like a something -- yeah. an eye thing. >> jimmy: wow. >> you know, they do that -- i don't know if they still do that. they put you out there and they're like, look, it's blank the new kid. i was like, with my big blue glasses and my eye patch. >> jimmy: oh my gosh. wow. but then you're like, i've got to into acting. >> no, you know what though? it does make you -- comedy helps. i'm like, but i'm really funny. >> jimmy: yeah. did you always want to be an actor, did you want to be a comedian, or what'd you do? >> oh, no, no, no, i studied sociology, psychology, and criminal science and i wanted to like, work for an fbi, and like bust bad guys or something.

>> jimmy: oh my god, this is like the fake version of doing that for real. >> you're right. it is the fake version of doing that for real. but i did a bunch of other stuff in between and then i kind of ended up doing this. but you know, i'm not even cool to be a cop, i'm not very brave actually at all. so, that didn't really work out. and i was really broke and i was bartending and i ended up being hired for all of these commercials. >> jimmy: you bartended a bunch around new york city, right? >> here, all over the place. from the upper east side to the south street seaport during the club kid days. like i have been in -- if you were here drinking at that point in time, i probably served you a drink. >> jimmy: really? >> and you better have tipped me. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. did you get good tips? >> sometimes, yeah, i did. >> jimmy: of course. do you have any bartender tricks? you know, sometimes -- did you do shots or did you flaming shots? >> i never did any of that kind of stuff. but i'm super like quadruple jointed if you can get a creepy shot of my hands. >> jimmy: whoa. >> right.

so there's like certain bar tricks that people go like, hey, i bet you can't take this blank and pick it up with two of your fingers and i'm like, done. and a hundred bucks i made one time by that. >> jimmy: wait, what -- who would go around and say you can't pick up -- what kind of people were hanging out -- what kind of bars are these bars? >> i don't know, you know. i don't know. >> jimmy: it's interesting. >> if i wanted to point at you, right? then i could put my hand this way and then point at you over there. see? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that is wild. that is unbelievable. look at your tattoos. can i look at your tattoos? >> yeah, i was born with these, isn't that weird? >> jimmy: no you were not. [ laughter ] i am number four? no that's not. but what do they all mean? did you get them at different times? >> no, i told you. it was really weird. my parents were like, ah! no, yes, of course i got them all different times. i didn't get 14 tattoos at the same time. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i didn't know. it was st. paddy's day was last night. i don't know, it happens. >> i got them all last night. it was crazy. >> jimmy: i can't do a tattoo 'cause i think it's too

permanent for me. >> yeah, well -- >> jimmy: it is. i'm like -- i don't do anything. >> i just want you to know that it's okay. it's okay if you don't have tattoos, i don't want you to, you know -- it's all right. >> jimmy: are you -- are you selling tattoos to me? i'd love to buy your tattoo. >> no, but it's kind of cute you're defending why you don't have them. but it's okay. >> jimmy: no, no, i don't do it for a reason. i'm just wondering which ones -- do you have a favorite one? one you wish you don't have? that's what would happened to me. i would get like a bart simpson saying "kawabunga dude" and here i am in 2000, he doesn't even say that anymore. >> right, right. >> jimmy: and i would have to change what he says. >> and you were like, that wasn't me. and you're like, it was st. patrick's day, it wasn't my fault. >> jimmy: exactly, yeah, yeah. >> no, yes, they're all my favorites probably. >> jimmy: you know, we have something in common. we were in the same movie. >> we were in the same movie but we never met! >> jimmy: almost famous. >> one of the greatest movies ever made. >> jimmy: can't be half bad. and same right back to you.
